Chapter 431: Divergent Path (Part II)

The second lady was always neat and tidy, and when she came in, she asked, "How is Brother Zhen now?" ”

Xu Lingyi briefly explained the situation and led her to the kang where Xu Sichen was sleeping.

But after a night's work, Xu Sizhen's face, which had just been raised a little round, was pointed again.

The second lady sat on the side of the kang, touched Xu Sizhen's forehead lovingly, and asked Eleven Niang: "What about the mother?" ”

Before the words fell, Mrs. Tai came out of the clean room: "Yizhen is here!" There was a hint of tiredness on his face.

The second lady hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai sat on the Taishi chair by the kang, and saw Shi Niang following behind Xu Lingyi, and hurriedly pointed to the Taishi chair opposite her: "You also sit." You are now a two-body person, not for yourself, but also for the sake of your children. Then he asked her, "Are you hungry?" Without waiting for her to answer, he turned his head and told the little maid, "Go, let the mother-in-law set breakfast." The fourth lady is hungry. ”

The little maid answered the call and left.

Everyone sat around Mrs. Tai.

Xu Lingkuan and his wife came over.

Because Xu Sizhen was ill, the fifth lady didn't bring Sister Xin'er: "...... I'm afraid of arguing with my brother. ”

I'm worried that Xu Sizhen will scare Sister Xin'er!

Everyone knows it and understands it.

Xu Lingkuan looked at Xu Lingyi: "Fourth brother, I'll take a few days off!" If anything, I can also help with the errands. ”

"No need." Xu Lingyi's expression was cold, "Do whatever you have to do!" Large-scale fanfare is easy to attract the attention of outsiders. ”

Xu Lingkuan thought for a while, and answered "yes" in a low voice, "Then the fourth brother will tell me if there is anything!" ”

Xu Lingyi said "um". And Mrs. Tai looked at the two brothers with discussion and thought, and thought that Xu Lingkuan had a good performance last night, showing a relieved expression, and told Xu Lingkuan a few words like "be a good errand", and the mother-in-law's breakfast was also set up, and Mother Du also turned back: "The carriage has been arranged to pick up the fourth young master's nurse!" ”

Mrs. Tai nodded helplessly, leaving Du's mother to take care of Xu Sichen, and the group went to the east room for breakfast.

Xu Lingkuan was going to be on duty, the fifth lady didn't want to be involved, so she glanced at the second lady, but the second lady had no intention of leaving, and the fifth lady was not reluctant, so she excused Sister Xin to be at home alone, and said goodbye with Xu Lingkuan.

Xu Lingyi entrusted Eleven Niang to Mrs. Tai: "The matter over there is not over yet, after two days, the wind and waves are calm, I will pick up Eleven Niang again." ”

"Go ahead and get busy with yours!" Mrs. Tai hurriedly said, "I'm here here!" ”

Xu Lingyi glanced at Eleven Niang deeply, got up and quit Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Er, and Mrs. Eleven went back to the inner room and sat down by the kang, and then Mrs. Tai said, "What the hell is going on?" Then he told the Fifth Lady that he had gone to her.

Mrs. Tai did not hide it from the second lady, and told the second lady everything as it was.

Hearing that Aunt Qin's house had found something that made witches, she couldn't hide her shocked expression: "Is she crazy?" Thinking of Aunt Qin's unusual behavior that she occasionally showed in front of her in the past few years, and felt that it was reasonable, she couldn't help but shake her head gently, "Her courage is too big!" ”

"Who says it isn't!" Mrs. Tai smiled bitterly, "I thought she was honest and responsible, but in the end, the foundation was too poor." At the slightest movement, people become arrogant. In the end, it's still a thin life, and I can't stand this blessing. ”

The second lady thought of Xu Siyu.

When I was an infant, I never cried or made a fuss, I obediently slept on the kang, and giggled when I saw someone passing by. Later, when he grew up, he was very naughty, and when he sent it to her again, he couldn't sit still for a moment, and he fell asleep on the table with his book, and she beat his hand with a ruler, and his mouth was stubbornly pursed into a slit, and he didn't open his mouth to admit his mistake anyway. Up to now, when I came back from Le'an, I greeted her politely, and discussed with her gently, and those joys, sorrows, and sorrows were all hidden deep in my eyes, so that others would miss them if they were not careful......

Her eyes suddenly felt a little astringent.

has such a biological mother, how can he be embarrassed!

The second lady lowered her head, blinked her eyes, and when she looked up again, it was already the usual breeze.

"So, Yanrong is still detained in the wing?" She asked Eleven Niang, "This kind of thing, the longer it goes, the more gossip there is." Some people are not afraid of the stage when watching dramas. It's okay and there is a rumor, not to mention that the maid next to you was indeed swept in. I think I have to find an excuse to release Yanrong quickly! The tone was sincere, with a little worry, "And Aunt Yi." You have to send a letter to the third uncle quickly. No matter what she said, if she didn't report it, she couldn't do it. But she served the third uncle for a while, although her mother is in charge, she still has to inform the third uncle. How to deal with Aunt Yi, you have to discuss the third uncle and the third brother and sister. ”

The second lady was very thoughtful, and Eleven Niang also agreed with her handling opinion. It's just that this matter has to be discussed with Xu Lingyi.

"The second husband is right." She said tactfully, "Master Hou has already gone to deal with it." Besides, I don't know exactly what happened yesterday. It is inevitable that the words spoken will be taken into account at the expense of the other. It's better to listen to what Hou Ye means. ”

When the second lady heard this, she knew that it was not appropriate to talk about this topic anymore. smiled and said, "That's good", then changed the topic, and said to Mrs. Tai with concern: "Mother, you are old, the fourth brother and sister are double again, and the fifth brother and sister are still thinking about Sister Xin." I'm fine, my mother and four siblings are going to rest! Brother Zhen, I'm watching here. ”

Mrs. Tai was not polite to the second lady, and when she heard this, she said, "It's okay." Then he said to Eleven Niang, "You go to sleep and go back to sleep!" I'll take a break too. Brother Zhen is here, let Yizhen help watch. ”

Eleven Niang was afraid that the child in her womb would not be tired, so she thought about it for a while, smiled and responded "yes", thanked the second lady, and went back to sleep in the east room served by Zhu Xiang and Lu Yun.

Mrs. Tai went to the warm pavilion to rest.

Eleven Niang slept until she woke up naturally, just in time for lunch.

While serving her to freshen up, Zhu Xiang whispered, "Sister Amber asked the little maid to come over and pass the word." said that the Hou Ye went to the main house early in the morning, and did not say a word more, let Yanrong go, and then asked the general manager Bai to send a few rough mothers-in-law to detain Aunt Yi, write a letter, take his own name post, and let people borrow the post road of the official office, and send a letter to the third master who is far away in Shanyang for 600 miles. Everyone in the house is talking, saying that the fourth young master is Aunt Yi. also said that Aunt Yi had no children and no daughters, and was abandoned by the third lady in Yanjing, and everyone was a little crazy, and she bit people indiscriminately when she met them! ”

Eleven Niang wiped her sweat: "In this case, do those servants in the house believe it?" ”

"I don't know if I believe it or not." Zhu Xiang couldn't help but smile, "Anyway, everyone is talking about it, and if you add a sentence, he adds a sentence, everyone thinks that what they are saying is the truth." The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. Even a few days ago, Aunt Yi punished a little maid who broke the bowl and knelt in the yard, and it was said that Aunt Yi wanted to be the housemother and wanted to go crazy, taking advantage of the third lady's absence to play the majesty of the housewife, and even grasping this trivial matter. also said that once Aunt Yi clearly ordered the kitchen to stew eggs for her, but the kitchen made it and sent it over, she just said that it was the fried quail that she ordered, and she went to the kitchen to make a fuss about this matter. Maybe my brain will be a little bad at that time! ”

Silence can really make rumors fly all over the sky!

"What about Aunt Qin?" Eleven Niang groaned, "What happened to Aunt Qin?" ”

"Master Hou didn't do anything." A look of admiration flashed on Zhu Xiang's face, "Sister Amber said that in the morning, the Hou Ye asked Mother Song to send a message to several aunts, saying that the Fourth Young Master was frightened, and Madame wanted to take care of the Fourth Young Master on Mrs. Tai's side, and the morning and dusk of the past few days would be spared." When she arrived at Aunt Qin's yard, Aunt Qin's face was sallow and sallow, and her sideburns were plastered, as if she was seriously ill, and she looked like she was ten years old. Panic is like a frightened bird. pulled Song's mother and said that she was about to die, begged Song's mother to find her a doctor, and asked Song's mother to bring a letter to the second young master who was far away in Le'an, and let the second young master come back to see her for the last time. As he spoke, his eyes darkened slightly, "And Cui'er, Mother Song hugged Mother Song's thigh when she entered the door, saying that she didn't know anything about Aunt Qin, let alone the people in her family." begged Song's mother to tell her wife, reward her with a bowl of medicine, don't implicate her family, and repay her kindness by being a cow and a horse in the next life. ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but be silent when she heard this. After a long time, he said faintly: "You tell Cui'er, you want to be able to be rewarded with a bowl of medicine to drink at that time, and you can't say anything at this time." ”

Zhu Xiang nodded.

The two silently combed their hair and inserted hairpins and went to Mrs. Tai's inner room.

The second lady sat by the kang and read, and Xu Sizhen was still asleep.

Seeing her enter, the second lady put down the book in her hand, pointed to a stove of incense burning in the corner of the wall, and then stepped forward quietly, and said: "Brother Zhen was a little restless before, and Mother Du hugged and coaxed for a long time, so I lit a homemade sleeping incense." ”

Eleven Niang nodded, and the second lady motioned for her to go out and talk.

The two of them went to the west and sat down.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, I'm there, I'm there, I have to bring him a letter."

It is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Siyu grew up under the knees of the second lady. Aunt Qin had an accident, and it was common sense for her to think of how to appease Xu Sizhen. Eleven Niang herself is thinking about this problem. Now that I hear the second lady mention this topic, I also want to hear the second lady's opinion.

She pondered, "What does the second sister-in-law mean?" ”

The second lady muttered: "Brother Yu is not young, and there is Mr. Jiang studying under him." I think I'll tell Brother Yu'er about this matter one by one! He knew the inside story, firstly, lest he go back to the house and hear some gossip and secretly ponder it in his heart, which ruined the father-son relationship between him and the Hou Ye; Second, he also knows his current situation, even if Aunt Qin has muttered something in his ear, it is all flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, it is better to do his studies in a down-to-earth manner and find a way to stand on his own. The third is that he is now in Le'an, if there is anything he can't figure out, he can also ask Mr. Jiang. With Mr. Jiang's enlightenment, it will not be depressed to the point of decadence. ”
